Mamy Harisoa Razafiloso Désiré was born in Madagascar as one of twelve chidren. His father, a school master, moved his family to several cities. At the age of seven years, while playing a game that showed him is need of new life, mamy put his faith in Jesus Christ, getting baptized in 1975. Mamy, as he is affectionately called, took a university degree in Natural Sciences in 1975 and became a high school teacher. In 1981 he was granted a scholarship to study at Western Seminary in Portland, Oregon USA, where he graduated with a masters degree in 1985. That same year, he married the lovely Bodo, a school teacher. He then took a position as pastor of an evangelical congregation on the northwest coast of his native madagascar, where he and Bodo serve to this day with their three teen-age children. An inveterate evangelist, Mamy has planted three more congregations in that region. In 1996 they were able to purchase land, and community leaders asked them to start a children's school which was launched in 1998. Called La Source (Water Spring), the school provides a full curriculum to several score local children. It also provides Bible instruction and voluntary Bible clubs, thereby serving families through their children. More than 100 children and several teachers have come to a life-transforming faith through the school. Goals for 2005 include providing more of the same while expanding by three new classrooms and raising of teachers' meager salaries.
